Alexey is an IT expert from Russia who has been living and working in the UAE for the last 15 years. He wanted to get a Spanish residence permit as a “ticket to Europe” — he had no plans to move to Spain, but visa-free access and legal advantages in the EU were important.
At the first consultation, we offered him a residence permit for digital nomads. Alexey chose the VIP package, and we started the process.
We have prepared a complete set of documents, taking into account the specifics of the submission from the UAE:
Certificates of absence of criminal record were requested in two countries — the UAE and Russia. From Russia, the document was issued by proxy and certified with an apostille. The certificate from the UAE was received through the local Ministry of Internal Affairs, then legalized at the Spanish Foreign Ministry and Consulate (full consular legalization is required in this region).
Additionally, we organized a sworn transfer of all the papers and helped you choose medical insurance.
The result: approval of a residence permit in 13 working days without additional requests
Alexey is currently preparing to submit biometrics. In the near future, we plan to add a family: a wife and two children.
